Well known for her commissioned portraits in oil, Marys objective is to convey the spirit and personality of her subjects, while maintaining an accurate and convincing likeness. Utilizing a strong design framework, beautiful harmonic color, and masterful paint application, Mary connects with the viewer by creating powerfully expressive paintings designed to become family treasures. ?To keep her approach and technique fresh, Mary enjoys switching between painting disciplines. She has created a body of work that reflects her love of landscape and figure in a series featuring birds. A recent exploration into non-objective painting has taken Mary back to her abstract roots. These paintings, distilled to the essence of color and shape allow the viewer to create their own narrative. Mary continues to work on her Moody Florals which combine figurative and abstract painting techniques to present a fresh approach to traditional still life paintings.

The result is wide acceptance of Giclee by galleries, museums, and private collectors.
